In March Obama proposed $634 Billion in his budget as a "down payment" or "reserve" for health care reform.
I don't recall if it made it to the final bill. I do know Congress rejected his proposal to offset it by eliminating charitable deductions for high earners. So maybe it got tossed altogether.
If it's in the Omnibus Budget, how does that work? Is that money included in the spending side of the health care bill?

Remember this morning we were discussing the "Omnibus" Bill. I was wondering if it was the same one we were hearing about a few months ago. I did a FR search for Ominibus and this thread came up.

I’ll try to top it up.
Maybe someone knows the answer.
If my suspicions are correct, this money shd be added to the cost of their ridiculous “reform” bill.
